Next scene: The next day, late in the afternoon. Larry's out taking a walk, finding, yet again, that he's unable to concentrate. As he walks along, he suddenly finds himself in front of the law offices of Cage & Fish. He had no idea how he got there, for he surely hadn't set out in that direction. His feet had just seemed to lead him there.

"Must be an omen," he muttered to himself. He stood there, staring at the door, debating whether or not to take the leap. "It's now or never. If I don't take a chance now, I think I'll always regret it. So, here goes," he said, reaching for the handle to the door and pulling it open. A passerby looked at him strangely, a well-dressed man talking to himself on the street? The stranger shook his head and walked on as Larry entered the building, walked over to the elevator, pressed the "up" button and waited. When the elevator arrived, he was relieved to find it empty; he got on and pressed the button for the 6th floor, where Cage & Fish were located. As the elevator made it's slow descent upward, he began to have second thoughts. What if Ally refused to see him? What if she made a scene in front of the entire office? Even if they were in her office, the rest of the staff would be eavesdropping outside the door. This wasn't right. He needed to get off the elevator and rethink things. He desperately pressed the buttons for other floors, but he was too late. The elevator bell rang for his floor and the door slowly opened.

"Well, this is it," he said to himself, and bracing himself for any possible onslaught, he stepped off the elevator. Much to his surprise the entire office was deserted. There wasn't a soul around any where. "What in the world?" he said to himself. He'd never been at the office when it wasn't buzzing with activity. It was then that he noticed a small sign posted near the receptionist's desk, which read:

"Closed for the wedding of two of our attorneys. All clients welcome to join us at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 110 Beacon Street, 6:00 p.m"

"A wedding?" Larry exclaimed aloud. "It can't be! Oh God, what if it's Ally's? She sure looked to be in love with that guy she was kissing. God, it's too late. Why in the world didn't I do something sooner?" He looked at his watch. It was just now five minutes until 6:00. "Maybe I've still got time. I've got to get to the church!" And Larry rushed back onto the elevator, pressing the button for the first floor, over and over again, as if this would make the elevator move more quickly. When the elevator finally reached the bottom floor and the door opened, Larry ran out of the building and onto the street and looked for a cab to hail. Of course, there wasn't one in sight. So he took off on a run, down the street. Beacon Street was over 20 blocks away but he'd just have to try to make a dash for it.

Fifteen minutes later, Larry arrived at St. Paul's, breathing hard and out of breath. He paused for a moment at the bottom of the stairs, and then trotted up them, a little more slowly this time, trying to catch his breath. When he reached the top, he pulled open the heavy doors and quietly walked into the foyer of the church. From inside the church, he could hear someone singing. "Who is that guy singing? He sure doesn't have much of a voice," muttered Larry to himself. He quietly let himself in one of the back doors to the church, and stood there, in the shadows, un-noticed by any of the people, whose attention was focused at the front of the church. As he watched closely, it dawned on him that the guy singing, the guy with the awful voice, wasn't the guy he'd seen kissing Ally! It was John Cage up there in a tuxedo! Huh?

All the time I thought, there's only me
Crazy in a way that no one else could be
I would have given everything I own
If someone would have said "you're not alone"

All the time I thought that I was wrong
Wanting to believe but needing to belong
If I'd've just believed in all I had
If someone would have said "you're not so bad"

All the time, all the wasted time
All the years, waiting for a sign
To think I had it all
All the time.

All the time I thought there's only me
Crazy in a way that no one else could be
I can't believe that you were somewhere too
Thinking all the time there's only you.

Larry couldn't believe it. It wasn't Ally getting married! Thank God he'd jumped to a wrong conclusion. But who was John marrying? Larry looked again and saw Nelle. "Nelle?" he said aloud, with a little laugh, and then caught himself, afraid that he'd been heard. But no, now Nelle had turned to John and taken his hands in hers and was saying something to him:

"I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything and everything and I will always care. Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better or worse, I will love you with every beat of my heart," Nelle's voice could clearly be heard throughout the church.

"What incredible words. From Nelle! That's just how I feel about Ally," Larry said to himself. Just then, Vonda stood up near the choir's pews and she began singing one of the most beautiful songs Larry had ever heard:

From this moment, life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on.

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on.

It was at that moment, that Larry finally caught sight of Ally. She was standing near the front of the church, with the other bridesmaids. Larry's breath caught in his throat. In all the time he'd known her, he didn't know when he'd ever seen Ally look so beautiful. Her dress was a soft lavender color and made of a filmy material that seemed to hug and caress the curves of her body. Her hair was drawn back on the sides, yet tendrils of hair curled around her face. The last bit of afternoon sun was streaming in through the stained glass windows at the side of the church, bathing Ally in a warm light. She looked as if she were an angel. Looking more closely, Larry noticed her eyes were shimmering with unshed tears.

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

"I can't believe the words to this song," Larry whispered. "They could've been written just for me and Ally."

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on.

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on.

As Vonda finished singing, Larry quietly left, unnoticed, through one of the back doors. He came across one of the altar boys in the foyer and quietly asked him if he knew where the reception was being held.

"At some bar. I heard some of the guests saying they couldn't believe a reception was gonna be held at a bar! Sounded cool to me, though," the boy said, as he left.

Larry just nodded his head and left the church.
